In this sequence, the Rappini house appears silent after Michelangelo's birthday party. With the guests now gone, the living room and the kitchen still bear the signs of the celebration that has just ended: empty bottles on the table and on the floor, dishes and glasses to be washed piled up on the counter, streamers dropped on the floor and leftover food scattered here and there. An image that tells of the quiet moment that follows the merriment of the feast.
